Does Yuan Shu really have the qualifications to become emperor?

In fact, Yuan Shu's own conditions can make him emperor. Yuan Shu was actually very capable before he became emperor. However, after he became emperor, Yuan Shu changed and became mediocre. Therefore, Yuan Shu It will fail in the end. Yuan Shu's own strength is indeed capable of becoming emperor, but the time for Yuan Shu to become emperor is wrong.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many princes. From the eighteen princes' campaign against Dong Zhuo, we can see that there were at least eighteen princes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The strength of these princes ranged from strong to weak, among which the strongest The princes along the way should be Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is also the leader in the alliance of eighteen princes, which shows that everyone also recognizes Yuan Shu's strength and status.

In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shu is described as a mediocre and ignorant villain, but can a mediocre and ignorant villain really become emperor in the end? The answer is of course no. If Yuan Shu really did not have the strength, he would not be able to proclaim himself emperor, because in order to become emperor, you must first have the conditions to become emperor. If Yuan Shu did not have this strength, he would definitely not proclaim himself emperor.

You must know that Yuan Shu's territory is very large, and Yuan Shu's army is also very powerful. Yuan Shu's army has more than 200,000 people. What is the concept of more than 200,000 people? In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had only 20,000 troops, while in the Battle of Chibi, the Sun and Liu Alliance had 50,000 troops. From this number, we can see how powerful Yuan Shu was at that time. This is exactly what Yuan Shu relied on to become emperor.

But Yuan Shu failed in the end. At this time, the world was in chaos and the powers of the princes were complicated. At this time, when he became emperor, all the princes turned their attention to him, and it was not right to become emperor at this time. It was moral, because the Han Dynasty had not yet perished at that time. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in the hands of Cao Cao, Jiangshan Yuan Shu, who was still a Han Dynasty in name, proclaimed himself emperor at this time, which meant that he was an unfaithful and unjust villain. So at this time, Sun Ce He left Yuan Shu, and later Yuan Shu also became mediocre and immoral, so in the end Yuan Shu's dream of becoming an emperor was shattered.
